I and other relatives have been researching our ancestors, especially our Jimenez line for some time and would like to know if any other descendents still live in Ojinaga, Presidio, Marfa, Shafter, or any of the surrounding areas. Our research is an ongoing effort, and we would like to continue learning more about the people we have researched. I will include here the names of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations (beginning with Manuel Jimenez, our oldest ancestor found so far). Please, mention these names especially to your grand parents, great-grandparents, etc. They may recognize names in the 3rd generation especially.

If there is any one out there who could share information, stories, and pictures of the people I mention below, please email me.
